On March 1st, IDEAS Trainee Jimmy Kim (Physics and Astronomy) was chosen to speak at the Winter quarter “Bridging the Gap” seminar, hosted by Northwestern’s Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The seminar’s focus was to highlight the broad applications of mathematics across diverse disciplines.
Kim, and one other student, were selected from those that applied to give 15-20 minute presentations on their research. These presentations had to apply math to a real world problem, be understandable to people outside of the specific field, and appeal to a general audience of listeners.
